My Journey Becoming a Vegetarian

“It is increasingly obvious that environmentally sustainable solutions to world hunger can only emerge as people eat more plant foods and fewer animal products. To me it is deeply moving that the same food choices that give us the best chance to eliminate world hunger are also those that take the least toll on the environment, contribute the most to our long-term health, are the safest, and are also, far and away, the most compassionate towards our fellow creatures.” -John Robbins (Author of Diet for a New America and The Food Revolution)

This salad & salad dressing are scrumdiddilyumptious!!

Salad

2 cup red romaine

2 cup green leaf lettuce

1/2 avocado

1/4 carrot, shaved

1/4 cucumber, sliced

3-4 pieces of marinated artichoke hearts

1 T chia seeds

1 T hemp seeds

1/4 cup feta (exclude for vegan)

1 hard boiled egg (exclude for vegan)

Toss the ingredients together.

Salad Dressing

3 parts EVOO

2 parts red wine vinegar

dried basil, sprinkle in generously

dried rosemary, sprinkle in generously

salt & pepper to taste

Whisk ingredients together. It is a good practice to make your own salad dressings whenever possible because you don’t need to consume preservatives, additives, and ‘natural flavors’ that are terrible for your health! It blows my mind that salad dressings often have in excess of 10-15 ingredients when you can make your own for a fraction of that.
